Black Manta variant costume

[megowgsh]

Everybody is familiar with Black Manta and his costume on the COTSF. But I remember seeing him in a different costume on another animated show. Maybe a Filmation cartoon. I think his costume was puke green or something.

Anybody else remember this?

Anybody have a pic?

Thanks,

Austin

I think it was the All-New Superfriends Hour where his suit was green (didn't he have a big "M" on his suit, too?).

ETA: FOUND IT!



From the episode "The Water Beast" from the All-New Superfriends Hour.

Yup. I remember that. He was just called "Manta". His suit on the Filmation toons was a bit different, but still black and blue.

I don't remember this early appearance on SF (the olive version), but his Filmation suit is cool. Not very black, though.

Someone here did a custon of it...maybe Azrak?

^ I wanna say the Filmation suit custom figure might have been done by MegoRonin?

and there is his Devil Ray incarnation in JLU.


This version is probably best left forgotten.

Can't say I'm impressed

^ Yeah the Neron version of Black Manta just plain sucked.....

[EMCE Hammer]

I totally dig Nate's blue version. The seaweed version would make a great Scooby baddie.

Although to be fair, by the nineties, the "Malcolm X of the Oceans" angle wasn't holding up too well either.



I'm really interested in seeing which way Geoff Johns goes with this Rage-o-holic incarnation in Brightest Day.
